Haryanvi actor Anjali Raghav has officially withdrawn her complaint against Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh before the Haryana State Women’s Commission. The decision follows a public apology from Singh regarding an incident that occurred during a promotional event last year. However, the legal battle is set to intensify against members of the singer's social media team over allegations of cyber-harassment. Commission Chairperson Renu Bhatia confirmed the update following a hearing in Faridabad on April 2, where Raghav stated she no longer wished to pursue charges against Singh personally. Haryana Women's Commission Issues Summon to Bhojpuri Singer Pawan Singh After Anjali Raghav's Complaint.

Anjali Raghav Levels Serious Allegations After Controversy

The controversy traces back to a 2025 stage event in Lucknow promoting the song Saiya Seva Kare, where a viral video showed Pawan Singh placing his hand on actress Raghav’s waist, leaving her visibly uncomfortable. Following the backlash, Singh issued a social media apology, stating he had no wrong intention and apologised if his behaviour caused hurt. While the Commission has since removed Singh’s name from the case, Raghav has made serious allegations against his digital team, claiming that misleading photos and videos were circulated, her personal mobile number and images were uploaded to pornographic websites, and that the entire episode caused her significant mental distress.

Raghav has specifically named three individuals in her statement, including Bhiwanshu and Akash. The Haryana State Women’s Commission has now formally included these individuals in the probe and directed them to submit their responses. "Never think the judge weak if the judge is nice to you," Chairperson Renu Bhatia reportedly noted during the proceedings, emphasizing the seriousness of the cyber-defamation claims. Pawan Singh Apologises to Anjali Raghav After Incident at Lucknow Event, Actor Says ‘No Wrong Intention’.

Anjali Raghav Case Hearing Date

The controversy unfolded over several months, beginning in late 2025 when an incident during a promotional show in Lucknow went viral. In early 2026, Anjali Raghav expressed that she was “disturbed” by the episode and even vowed to quit the Bhojpuri industry. In March 2026, Pawan Singh issued a public apology on social media, addressing the backlash. Most recently, on April 2, 2026, Raghav withdrew her complaint against Singh but continued to seek strict action against his digital team. The case has now been moved to Panchkula for the next hearing, scheduled for April 6, 2026. All individuals named in the complaint, including the social media managers, have been ordered to appear in person to address the allegations of harassment and digital misconduct.
